Skies

As other NZ folk from the 365 community have said, today’s skies were a strange phenomenon. This was taken mid afternoon and is a result of smoke from the devastating bush fires in Australia. It became dark and eerie and is a reminder of how scary it must be in Australia. If only they could get some decent rain to help quell the infernos.

As you know I am not posting photos at the moment but I just dropped in and spotted your photo. So sorry you are being affected by our fires.
If you could send some rain in return it would be very much appreciated.
I can't see the situation improving in the near future.

So devastating for that country. I saw yesterday a plane load of American firefighters flew to Australia to help. This photo says it all, it’s a disaster of such magnitude it’s hard to imagine, really.

An amazing sky, giving an unusual image! I saw satalite images yesterday which showed the massive plumes of smoke from Australia spreading towards New Zealand. It is hard to imagine the enormous scale and destruction the wild fires are causing.

It's so sad. This is a grate capture of a very eerie scene. A friend sent me a video of my home town in the far north and it was so weird for want of a better word. Like you I pray Australia gets some real rain soon. You would think that in this day and age with all the science and technology we have something could be done to stop these fires.
